And their books...HOT! *fans self* Also, being a newbie to the writing world, I gained an abundance of knowledge I could never have gotten anywhere else. </span></span></b></div>

I suppose I should take it down. She doesn’t want me to put it away. I tried to explain if we leave it up all year, the special feeling of dressing the tree at Christmas won’t feel as good. The six year old believes it will be. I suppose at her age and in her eyes, Christmas would be special anytime.</b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But to those of us in the romance world it means love destined through fate, the impossibility of two souls meeting and the happy-ever-after we all hope for at heart. I find it amazing when I see it in real life; two people meant to be, willing to go through whatever they have to, to be together. It’s truly beautiful.</span></b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It’s what inspires me to write about the unfeasibility of people falling in love. Whether someone comes from another time period, another world or just happen to meet due to a chance encounter, fate plays a role. The color of your skin, your gender, your background, or sexual preference plays no part. It is said things happen for a reason. Lovers meet because of a destined path.</span></b></span></div>

<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rita’s cell phone rested just inside her purse sitting over on the counter across the room. Damn it. Quietly as possible, she slowly moved away from the door, to make her way to the counter, all the while planning to call the police as she snuck out the front door. The man on the floor stirred and moaned seeming to try rolling over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Please…help me…” His voice resonated deep but quiet, pleading.</span></div>
<div id="uniquename" style="display: block;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As he moved she could see the pool of blood behind him, she looked rapidly from him to her purse and back again. She watched him intently as his eyes fluttered open to display a pale amber color. Lying there, he didn’t look dangerous in his injured state. Normally trusting no one, Rita’s experience with people in general showed they were mostly insincere in their words and deeds. She should let the guy suffer. How the hell did he get in here anyway? But something in his voice when he asked for help, something in his eyes as he blinked up at her made her pause. She sighed in exasperation.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“I better not regret this, buddy. Just so you know, my father’s a cop, my brother’s a cop and my boyfriend is a bodybuilder. It would be a bad move for you to try anything stupid.” They were all lies. Her parents lived two hours away and her father made his living as a CPA, she was an only child, and the boyfriend…a joke. But he didn’t need to know it.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She bent down beside him realizing how large he was as he gently placed his cool hand on hers.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“I won’t hurt you.” His voice came out in a whisper.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rita stopped breathing as the chills went up her arm. The sensation unexpected, not from fear but from a slight thrill, she paused then nodded acknowledging him. Moving behind him, she gasped, catching a good look at his injuries.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“We have to get you to a hospital. You’ve been shot. Oh my God, are those darts?”<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“I can’t go anywhere. Please, can you help me remove them? I just need to remove them and…” The man dropped his weight under her grasp, her arms tucked under his as she struggled with his weight, trying to heft him to his feet. Rita grunted.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Uh, guy? You need to help me here. I can’t carry you.” Weakly grabbing for some leverage, the man steadied himself and they maneuvered over to the counter. He slumped over the tiled shelf and with his hand, sought to pull the arrow out of his thigh. Rita winced as he groaned in pain.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Wait, wait!” Rita placed her hands at her mouth and tapped them lightly over her lips in anxiety. “Let me get some gloves.” She moved over to the kitchen area and put some latex gloves on. Really for candy making, but she figured better than nothing.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rita placed one hand on his back and the other gripped the dart.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Ready? One, two, three,” She gave a hard yank and heard his flesh tear as the steel ripped free of his leg. He screamed as it left his body and dropped his head to the counter.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“We really should let a doctor do this.”<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“No. You. I need you to do this. Please. Remove the others.”<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rita stood shaking for a moment, but then set to task. She didn’t know why but she felt badly for him, like this should have never happened to him. She braced her arm across his buttocks and bent over, wrapping her fingers around the steel peg in his calf.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“So, what’s your name?” She yanked, discharging the dart, wincing as he screamed again.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Avan.” He spoke breathlessly, in obvious pain, keeping his head down on the counter.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Again, chills when he spoke.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Two more, Avan. Then I need to clean the wounds and get you bandaged… somehow. I just hope there is no organ damage with this one.” She touched the dart at his kidney. “I’m going to try to be gentle with this, okay. It may hurt more.”<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He gave a humorless laugh.“I’ll just have to brace myself then, right?”<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rita removed the two remaining darts, tossing the bloodied gloves before retrieving a clean pair and some hot water to cleanse the wounds. She reached up on a shelf above the sink for some clean towels and looked over her shoulder at Avan, barely hanging onto the counter. She turned back to the sink.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“I wish I had something to give you for the pain. I think all I have is Tylenol and I don’t think that’s going to cut it.” She carried the bowl and clean rags over to him.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Mrachtora. I smelled it here. I need mrachtora to heal.” Avan’s voice sounding weaker by the minute, Rita looked at him questioning his statement.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“The only thing I smell here is chocolate. Is mrachtora an herb?”<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“It is made from a plant. It is a rich drink. My kind needs it. I can smell it.” He inhaled deeply, a faint smile over his lips.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Your kind?” She shook her head but couldn’t help but smile when the scent of the chocolate seemed to affect him, calm him. She walked over to the cooling unit and picked up a freshly made dark chocolate truffle, drizzled lightly with white chocolate and presented it to him.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“The only thing that smells good in my shop is my chocolate.”<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Avan furrowed his brow at the small piece of candy, picked it up and sniffed, his eyes growing wide. He popped it in his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed, moaning in almost erotic pleasure.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Mrachtora.”<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rita watched his face, her mouth dropping open as the ecstasy consumed him. People traveled for her candy but never did she see a reaction like this. Avan had the lushest eyelashes delicately laid against his perfect bronze skin, his plump lips moved slowly as he masticated the soft confection. She brought her hand to her throat to stroke the skin and felt the sudden warmth between her legs. He slowly opened his eyes, locking his gaze on hers.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Thank you. May I have another?” Strangely he seemed calmer, the pain less. Rita retrieved a few more pieces and he devoured each piece with the same enthusiasm as the first. She shook her head in disbelief his strength seemed to return rapidly with the consumption of each confection. Trying to gain composure, she watched him lick his long fingers. She swallowed and cleared her throat as she turned to get the basin of water.<span californian=""><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Avan, I’m going to need to get at your skin to clean your wounds, so you’ll need to take your clothes off. There’s a bathroom over by the door and I’m sorry, all I have is this tablecloth for you to cover yourself with.” She turned toward him holding out the covering to find Avan standing shirtless, and pulling down his jeans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is my contribution to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cabin for Two.</i>
The MC is Erik Broden, a doctor, avid geocacher, broken hearted, embarrassed
and on a mission to forget about the last few weeks where his life came
crashing down on him. He's off geocaching in the Appalachian Mountains when
life decides to throw him another curve ball—or more specifically—a tree root.
Erik tumbles down the side of the mountain and gets hurt. What he doesn't know
is who he meets when he gets rescued.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">For
me, writing this story was about a person who was stuck. Sometimes, anything
and everything can and will go wrong, and it sucks. You just want to stop,
forget for a while, and lick your wounds. Just like Erik. When he's stuck 6
inches from salvation and hurt, he wants to give up. Not because he wants to
die, but because he's tired of life crapping on him. I think all of us can
relate to that. We hit a point where we need a break, a stop, and in this
story, Erik gets his break in the form of a cabin and his friend Jonas.</span><br />

discovered he lay on a furry rug of some kind, wrapped in some fleece blanket.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Nik sensed a danger in the night, jarring him from a restful sleep
created in part by Elisa’s presence near him soothing his normally
restless nature. His connection to this land echoed in his mind and the
voice of a creature he hadn’t spoken to in years. The Great Spirit wolf
and his clan of wandering souls approached the facility at a great speed
from their nightly hunt. Elisa studied this pack intently over the last
two years; but in all the time, the leader never reached out to Nik as a
guardian of the ice fields. Since leaving his clan, Nik assumed his
services were no longer valued by the deity.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The leader’s voice reverberated in his mind, a clear warning to take
the tiny human female to a safer location. There were hunters coming
after the pack and would stop at nothing in their evil quest to gain the
pelts of the pack. Nothing, including harming Elisa. Pain squeezed his
heart at the thought of her injured or worse. Glancing slightly over his
shoulder, he focused on her face, serene with sleep. Hanging his head,
he looked at his injured side and allowed his natural healing ability to
ease the injured ribs and bruising. It would be easier to explain the
miraculously healed injury then to convince the strong-headed female to
leave her wolves. The rustle behind him warned his companion roused from
sleep as well.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">“Sorry, did I wake you Elisa?” Nik’s voice sounded gruff from the use
of his powers to heal, having been years since using the talent. He
turned to see her worried expression, eyes trained on the tiny telltale
sign of other humans near.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">“That is a campfire! This is protected land. No one should be here
camping,” she bit out. Her shoulders straightened with anger and nose
crinkled in the cutest way causing Nik to turn his head before she saw
his instant smile. “Nik! Oh my, they have to be up to no good! The
authorities told me to watch for poachers. You don’t think they are
after my wolves, do you?”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Nik could not help but smile broader at her statement. He loved it
when she said “her” wolves. She devoted herself to this pack as if it
were her own kin. His impression of humans changed over the last year
knowing Elisa. Before, he thought all humans monsters with no regard for
the delicate balance of nature. Now, he knew only some of the species
poised a real threat to animals, and to themselves.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Thus far I
had been quite successful in my evasive maneuvers; skirting around friend’s
questions of when I was going to start one and hiding from those who would ask
if I read theirs. Some little white lies were told so as not to hurt feelings,
but at least my friends were forgiving. Then I just had to go and get lucky
enough to have a story published, which meant I was reaching beyond my personal
friends. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I was so
excited! I didn’t even mind editing and re-editing. Then the self-promotion part
began. Facebook page? No problem, I was already there. Twitter? Uhm, well,
sounded easy enough if I could just remember to tweet. Website? A work still in
progress. Book trailer? One of the things
I had been dragging my feet on. It’s really hard to find the right pictures,
but after I found and supplied them to the talented author, publisher, and
video maker, Scarlet Hunter of Epic3 Productions, she made me a video that brought
a glorious smile to my face. </span></span></div>

a blog. I’m surprised at how positive I am about this latest endeavor. Probably
because my next blogs will be for the Diamonds and Divas Book Tour. I will be
working with some very talented and fun ladies to showcase our books. I hope
you can join us! </span></span></div>
